CODRT SCORES "SOME HEN"
Judge Estelle Would like to Throw a
lew Out of the Wiifdow.
PRESENCE OF WOMEN RESTRAINS
tsngle thst makes tha children nobody'
claim a large part of the time.
Krmtrk I rrntokfl hr Hearing; nf
(barges Against Futner W ho
Kail to Provide for Rap
port of tklMrm,
Saturday morning a session of the Ju
venile court was quite- an extensive our.
Fom of the testimony led Mrs. Heller of
th Detention home to remark: "It '
irreat pity that there sre not in Omaha
riacea of decently comfortable construc
tion where the v.ry poor enn afford to
live." Tha remark was drawn fortli by a
atory told by the divorced wife, of a res
taurant worker and her mother.
The divorce occurred five years ago and
th mother wa given custody of three
little- boys, who are now aged 12, 10 and S.
The father waa present and had no dental
for tha mother'a statement tnat he had
contributed very skimpily to the support
of hie boya since the divorce, something
under 110 and a tasks cr two cf grub that
tha women Insisted mad them all sick.
1'h woman Is a member of th Balvation
Army and th father said It was th ad
jutant of th army who waa responsible
for th charge against tha mother that
ah waa neglecting her children. To com
bat thi testimony appeared the captain of
the Balvation Army and several members,
who Insisted that th mother waa doing th
very best aha could under th circum
stances. "I want these children fetched up as
Christian," asserted the father. "I have
since become a Christian and I don't like
to hear report that these boys are not
being properly fetched tip."
On assurances from the Salvation Army
fieople and Probation Officers Bernstein
and Carver as to th character and the
struggle of the mother, she waa allowed
o keep the boys. They did not look like
abused children, had good achool reports,
even to the smallest, and evidently were
satisfied to remain with their mother and
grandmother.
When the decision had been made and
the parties had retired. Judge Estelle was
moved to say, "Th presence of women
fere often keeps me from saying things
that throb on my tongue, and soma men
show up her at tlmea that I would like
to throw bodily out of th window."
Twe of the new breed of children that
pick up profanity and vulgarity like they
get their growth and who refuse to submit
to a whipping at horn for disobedience
wcr In from South Omaha. They were
committed to th care of the Detention
home by th court, when th judge had
satisfied himself that a little discipline
without ugly accompaniments la the thing
they mainly need. After a study at close
hand under her Immediate care. Mrs. Hel
ler expressed the view that the lads get
their temper and their dirty language from
examples set by their father, a Russian of
hostile heart easily stirred to violent wrath.
When one boy stole from a "car or a
distillery a barrel and a case of whisky
he laid the foundation for bringing Paul
Kriegler and Matt Ktrschbaum Into the
Juvenile court. Paul is 17 and Malt la
about 11
"I never drank whisky before," said
Matt to Judge Estelle, and his assertion
waa believed, because after drinking he
was dead to tha world at his home for
many hours. The older lad confessed that
one in a while he had drank liquor, and
Judge Estelle thereupon went Into details
to convince him that a diploma in bum
land would be his shortly if he did not
abandon the habit.
Both boys gave their words that here
after they will attend to their work and
Id drink alone, If It Is offered them free.
Their parole was accepted. The alleged
whisky thief Is In the county jail.
Account was submitted of three little
girla who have disappeared who are wanted
In Kanaaa City. The father of two, who la
stepfather to the third, appeared In court
with one little girl, the fourth of the
family. Divorce haa spilt the parents out
of personal communication, but the father
asserts that evety now and a'galn the
mother dumps the children onto him, al
though alia haa legal custody. Then, after
. he haa clothed them and got them into
good condition she takes them away again,
on a court warrant from the Missouri city.
Transportation Is here for them now on
that kind of a deal, but three got away
in some faahton before the parent In
Omaha could have Judge Katclle attempt
.a permanent solution of the miserable.

In the Storm.
T. J. O'Brien, proprietor of the llcnshaw,
had a strenuous time getting home Thurs
day night during the storm. He missed the
last cur and tried to secure a carriage, but
the storm had driven in every "all night"
driver, and as L,. C. Nash, superintendent
of the Omaha & Council Bluffs street rail
way, came along they started out together.
Mr. Nush had been to the Douglas street
bridge to look after some trouble and was
on his way to the Harney street barn to
send out some sweepers. They toiled to
gether against the wind to Twentieth and
Farnam streets, when Mr. O'Brien played
out and did not dare undertake the rest of
I ho Journey alone. Mr. Nash told him Hint
he would aooti send a sweeper west on the
Farnant street line and that he could ride
on that to hla home on Twenty-seventh
street. O'Brien accepted the Invitation and
when ready to ect on the Farnam street
line the sweeper had to go to the Union
station. Here tome trouble waa encoun
tered and it was Just 5 a. in. when O'Brien
readied his home at Twenty-seventh and
Harney streets, cold and stiff.
He might have stayed In a warm room at
the llcnshaw.

INQUIRY INTO STEEL MERGER
Thorne and Perkins Before Judiciary
Committee of Senate.
DETAILS OF THE TRANSACTION
Mr. IHorajan" Partner Says Kxohana
of Steel Compaax Bonds for Ten
nessee Stocks Stopped
I th ramie.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The merger of
the Tennessee Coal and Iron company and
the Vnited States Steel corporation was
probed by the. senile committee on the Ju
diciary yesterday. The witnesses were Ouk-
lelgh Thor.is, president or the l rusi com
America, and Ucorge V. Perkins
of J. Pierpont Morgan & Co., who is also a
member of the finance committee vi
steel corporation.
No effort has been made by tne commit
tee to subpoena Judge Gary and H. C.
Frlck. Th examination of both wltnesaes
today was conducted by P nator Culberson.
nr. Timrne testified that tbe Trust Com
pany of America has no Interest In the ti ck
of the Tennessee Coal ana iron cmni.a,.,.
as owner, but on November 1. lJui. ii nau
loaned $462,700 to six individuals holding the
.t fin as collateral. All of these loans,
said Mr. Thorne, were pa.d off in Novem
ber with the exception of two of $:2,ono each.
Mr. Thorne said that he considered the
security for the loans to be good and that
his company had no Interest in tne oorK
ii.,n nf the Tennessee company by the etcel
corporation and did not know of the nego
tiations until after they weie Degun.
Syndicate Owned Control.
K.n.tnr Culberson inoulred of Mr. Thorne
-hdh.r he had knowledge ot a syndicate
which owned the controlling Interest In the
Tennesste Coal and Iron company in me
f.ll of 1907. He reDlied that he had. and
that he was a member of that syndicate,
but he had withdrawn from the aynaicaie
and was npt familiar with the syndicate's
operations. The original managers were
given as Grant B. Schley and l naries
Guthrie. Leonsrd Hanna of Cleveland took
the place of Mr. Guthrio after the latter s
death. This syndicate, declared Mr. Thorn,
owned a majority of the stock of the
Tennessee company.
In addition, Mr. Thorn mentioned John
W. Gates. E. J. Berwln and II. 8. Black.
When asked If he had any personal knowl
edge of the actual sale of a majority of
the stock oC the Tennessee company In
November, 1907, Mr. Thorne replied;
"All 1 know Is that I delivered my stock
to J. P. Morgan V Co.. and got s receipt
for It"
Senator Overman asked Mr. Thorne if at
th Urn of th merger the Trust Company
of America was financially cmbai rn ased
and If so, whether the merger had a tend
ency to relieve It. lie leplied Ciat it hJd
no direct bearing on either himself or I lie
company.
At lh time lh syndicate to loiil ol ilK-
Tennessee Coa! and Iron company was
formed, said Mr. Thorne. the syndicate
price was $110 a share, but its market
price was 95, and it went to 128. t
Mr, Thorne testified that when the Ten
nessee company's stock was surrendered,
the owners received In return United States
Steel 5 per cent bonds on the basis of 119
par value for each share of the stock of
the Tennessee company. The steel cor
poration bonds were quoted by Mr. Thorne
as being worth fioni 82 to 84 at the time
he received them, and being worth now
between 102 and 103.
Testimony of Mr. rerklns.
When Mr. Tcrkins took the stand, he
a!d:
"The acquisition of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company by the United States
Steel corporation was never brought up or
broached In any Way so far as my knowl
edge goes, until perhaps the second or
third acute stage of the panic developed
in New York, and then It came up very
suddenly, because of the serious disturb
ance that existed. in New York as a re
sult of the great depreciation In market
values and the unmarketability ot a great
many securities."
Mr. Perkins said that there was a gen
eral feeling that It would be difficult for
any one to express in a. concrete statement
that If the Tennessee Coal and Iron stock
were taken out of various loans, some way
it would prevent a great many failures
and avert a spread of the panic. Con
tinuing, he said:
"Finally some one made a suggestion
which afterwards worked out that the cor
poration might furnish Its 5 per cent sec
ond mortgage bonds In lieu of cash and in
this way put In lieu of these loans securities
that wei marketable."
Mr. Perkins told of the visit to Washing
ton by Judge 1-1 II. Gary and Henry C.
Frlck for the purpose of seeing the' presi
dent "Practically everything was at a stand
still until we got word from Washington a
to what seemed to be the feeling then-."
continued Mr. rerkins. "That was tch
phoned to me by Judge Gary oh Monday,
about the time the market opened mid
the news that this transaction pmtahly
would be made was given out and had an
effect for the better on the imtikcl and 1
have always believed stopped t lio panic. J
Calling attention to President Riisnclt
statement in his letter lo Attorney Ceiin, I
Bonaparte lhat Messrs. Frlck i;nd iTaiy
had represented that business firm of Im
portance In New York, which held s
majority of th securities of the Trnness- e
Coal and Iron company wouM fail unlets
help was given It. Senator Culberson asla- i
Mr. Perkins whether he had knowledge of
such a condition. Mr. Perkins replied lhat
he could not answer whether tiny one f.rm
held a majority of the Tennesssue conccrn'M
stock, but added that "from u ginciai
recollection of the situation serious em
barrassment was threatened to an liis.lt j
tlon In New York."
He did not care to mention the name of
the Institution. Senator Cu'berson asked
whether by "institution" the witness tin ant
a corporation, state or Icd.'ial, r u busi
ness association or firm. Reluctuntly Air.
Perkins replied that he meant nn ays u-.-ation
of Individuals.
Mr. Perkins was excused from giving tli
nam of the institution.
